The Old Gods

Chapter 1058 A Storm Is Brewing?

Early November.

Northwest of the Celestial Realm, a border region.

A colossal statue draped in imperial robes, holding a spear in one hand, swiftly traverses the battlefield.

"Shu~"

Yan Chou's figure suddenly leaned forward, directly passing through the overwhelming number of Jade Venerable's minions, and once again traversed to the front of the white jade city wall.

"Whoosh!" A terrifying surge of divine power emanated from all parts of Yan Chou's body.

A truly spectacular scene unfolded!

One after another, enormous, illusory flowers bloomed all over the entire body of the Yan Chou God statue.

Yan Chou's hair, cuffs, and boots were covered with Qin Yanzhi's henchmen.

Each of them possessed the strength of the third level of the Heavenly Realm. They opened their small human hands, which blossomed into large spider lilies.

Flowers bloom and then wither.

Instead of teleporting the Yan Chou God statue away, it "carved" many large holes in the thick white jade city wall in front of him.

The layers upon layers of Jade Venerable minions were thus teleported away by the Spider Lily.

Where did you go?

The Three Sacred Mountains of Northwest Ranmen!
Are you Faceless Jade Venerables hiding in a defensive posture, conserving your strength, and not attacking us?
it is good!
If you won't come over, then we'll go to the other side.

But we're not here to fight on the front lines; we're here to teleport you back to our territory.

Close the door and beat the dog!

This was a mission strategy proposed by the Dragon Protector, approved by Lady Ranmen, and ultimately implemented by the various sacred mountains.

"Whoo~"

"Whoosh~~~" Jade robes fluttered as countless faceless jade deities lunged forward madly.

This terrifying wave of white jade, if it were to sweep over Yan Chou, would instantly turn him into jade.

However, Yan Chou is a first-class god-demon who inherited the position of the Evil Spear Emperor!
His black and gold imperial robes billowed wildly, like surging black waves, sweeping away countless Jade Venerable minions around him.

For a moment, the crisp snapping sounds echoed continuously.

"Hmph." Yan Chou coldly watched as the white jade city wall was dismantled and piece by piece was lost. He suddenly leaned back and then disappeared.

When he reappeared, he was riding the clouds and moving at lightning speed, while giving the command:

"Next group, get ready."

The henchmen of Qin Yan, who were omnipresent on their bodies, all perked up.

The spear-wielding technique granted Yan Chou the ability to teleport.

The evil magic of the Evil Spear Emperor's sect granted him the ability to fly at high speed; the black clouds beneath his feet moved at a speed no slower than the flying swords of the Sword One sect.

In terms of mobility alone, Yan Chou is undoubtedly a top-tier (T1) character within the Burning Gate!
Why not T0?

Compared to the Lord of the Burning Gate, Yan Tian is still lacking in some aspects.

Lu Ran possesses the strengths of many masters: he can teleport, teleport, fly at high speeds, move at supersonic speeds, has a swift body and incredibly fast reaction speed, and can even slow down the speed of the world he sees.
Unfortunately, the incredibly powerful sect leader did not carry out the mission and has not appeared on the battlefield for a month and a half.

Lu Ran was located in the Heavenly Realm, but he was with the Forgotten Spring God Sculpture, inside the Fiery Phoenix Pattern Gourd.

It was held tightly in Lady Ranmen's hand.

What exactly is the sect leader doing?
The soldiers had a hunch, but no one dared to object to the sect leader's decision.

The gods only hoped that when the sect leader emerged from seclusion, his new skills would enable him to lead the Burning Sect to defeat the Faceless Jade Venerable.

"Shu~"

Yan Chou Shen Tu once again darted through the air, his imperial robes billowing up violently, sending a large number of enemies flying.

He rode on black clouds, flying horizontally in front of the white jade city wall.

The red spider lilies are in full bloom!

The gaps in the white jade city wall are clearly visible.

At the same time, at Changying Divine Mountain, located in the northwest region of the battlefield, about 20 kilometers away from the mountain, a series of blue teleportation arrays suddenly appeared out of thin air.

The Jade Emperor's minions fell downwards in large numbers, like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

"Whoosh~ Whoosh~"

Each divine sword, comparable to the flying swords of the Sword Sect, flew with astonishing speed, frantically piercing and shattering the Jade Venerable's henchmen.

The Jade Venerable Clan is indeed formidable!
But as lackeys, their strength and level are what they are.

Using divine techniques to kill a Heavenly-grade enemy, is a second strike necessary?
"Crack! Click!"

The eighty-one divine sword tokens swept through the enemy ranks, slaying countless foes!
This place is called Changying Divine Mountain.

The general in charge of the Burning Gate, who sits in the mountains, is, of course, a gambler who lost nine out of ten times.

Now, the charlatan girl has transformed.

Win every time you gamble!

At this moment, on the sacred mountain covered with countless white bones, the tall and strong female deity statue still wore the sect leader's robes, her messy short hair fluttering horizontally in the wind with the hem of her clothes.

It possessed an indescribable charm.

It is as ethereal as an immortal, yet also carries a strong sense of wildness.

Her enormous eyes locked onto her prey, and she held aloft a stone hand, her long stone fingers tapping gently.

The divine sword talisman moves with its master's thoughts, displaying extraordinary flexibility.

Each time they shattered the Jade Emperor's head, they didn't hesitate for a moment, continuing to charge and wipe out the enemy camp under their master's command.

Killing the enemy is as easy as mowing grass!

Behind the statue of the young girl, stood a tall, slender male statue with long, flowing hair, named Qian Gu.

The bones covering the entire sacred mountain are the work of this third-tier powerful god. By now, Qian Gu has learned how to submit to the leader of the Burning Gate, and also how to get along with the leader who guards this mountain.

The top-tier magical artifact, the Heavenly Mandate Banner, floating behind Chang Ying's divine statue, and the top-tier magical artifact, the Thousand Autumn Bell, worn at her waist, constantly remind Qian Gu:

The human girl before them had taken all the divination slips.

From divine positions to divine methods, from ritual implements to the entire sacred mountain.

"Sigh," Qian Gu sighed softly in her heart, once again silently mourning her old friend.

However, after Chang Ying took over command of the mountain, the atmosphere on the sacred mountain completely changed.

There's no need to play mind games anymore.

Unlike before when dealing with divination sticks, there's no need to constantly worry about resource allocation.

The gods and demons guarding the mountain were all giving their all and obeying orders without question, which made the intrigue and power struggles less interesting.

"Hey, Yingying!" a female voice called out, laughing and scolding, "How come you're so quick? Leave some for this fairy!"

Chang Ying smiled and said, "Don't worry, Guardian, the next batch will be here soon."

Si Xianxian pouted and muttered, "Everyone says that Hanmei and Bingmei Demon Queen are Little Jianyi, but I think you are!"

How is this killing efficiency any different from that of a sword cultivator?
Chang Ying smiled and said, "The next wave is for you. Go and guard it."

"That's more like it." Si Xianxian turned and flew away from the mountaintop.

She arrived at this mountain to be stationed after personnel adjustments.

I thought I would be the backbone, but after seeing this place, I realized I don't need to do anything myself.
"By the way! Mad Immortal Protector, be careful when you make your move!"

From the mountaintop behind, Chang Ying's loud shout rang out: "Keep an eye on Yu Tang, don't accidentally blow him to pieces!"

Si Xianxian: ? ? ?

Am I blind?
It's one thing for the young master and madam to talk to me like that, but you, little girl, are even giving me instructions?
"Whoosh~" The Mad Immortal Protector turned around and flew backward, glaring at Chang Ying from afar.

Chang Ying's worried shouts carried far and wide, reaching the battlefield area.

Deng Yutang: "."

Will this be paper?
Yes, that's true.

At least in front of Da Fengxian, she felt crisp and crunchy, just like the crumbly candy that Xiao Lingyi liked to eat.

But the problem is, who isn't a sweet treat in front of the Mad Immortal?

"Hissing sound~~~"

With a neigh, the Divine Blood Steed leaped into the air.

Deng Yutang, mounted on his horse, wielded a steel spear and swung it fiercely, the tip of the spear flashing, drawing a sharp red trail.

Wherever the spearhead passed, the few remaining Jade Venerable minions were shredded to pieces.

"You!" Si Xianxian's voice rang out, her tone unfriendly. "Go back up the mountain and rest for a while, let me have some fun!"

Deng Yutang reined in his horse and hovered high in the air, looking at the woman with a hint of helplessness.

Si Xianxian's beautiful eyes widened: "What? You dare disobey the Guardian?"

Deng Yutang looked distressed.

"Haha!" A rough laugh came from not far away.

Deng Yutang turned his head and saw Niu Zhengzheng, who had just finished absorbing the souls of the dead:

"Let's go, Young Master Deng, shall we obey orders and go back?"

Deng Yutang snorted: "I think you just want to get back to the mountain as soon as possible to curry favor with Yingying."

Without his sister Deng Yuxiang or his brother Lu Ran by his side, the former eldest son of the Deng family has regained his former glory.

"Haha!" Niu Zhengzheng laughed again. "You have a wife and daughter now, while I'm only just getting started. I have to work hard."

Even though Niu Zhengzheng had long since attained the divine position of the Soul-Splitting Demon and transformed into a god, he was still cheerful and forthright when facing old friends.

Deng Yutang asked in confusion, "Aren't you and Yingying always together?"

"We're not married yet! Yuanxi said I have to keep up a good reputation." Niu Zhengzheng shouldered his axe and strode towards the sacred mountain. "My parents are waiting to hold their grandson."

Even gods and demons care about a marriage certificate.

She also cares about her parents' wishes and wants to have offspring.

There's a touch of logic hidden within the fantasy.

Niu Zhengzheng looked up at the goddess statue atop the mountain, a simple, honest smile appearing on his otherwise fierce face.
"Once we win, I'll propose to Yingying."

Deng Yutang spurred his horse and landed beside Niu Zhengzheng. He let the horse roam freely and said with a smile, "Alright, I'll come to your wedding banquet then."

Niu Zhengzheng suddenly turned to the general on horseback: "What if she doesn't agree?"

He was once a second-class divine disciple, full of pride.

Now, he is merely a sixth-rank evil god with a single divine position.

Chang Ying is an absolutely powerful god with two divine positions. Nominally, she is a fourth-class god, but her actual combat strength is close to that of a second-class god.

To say that Niu Zhengzheng felt no inferiority complex would be a complete lie.

Deng Yutang's expression was strange: "Then you should go to the sect leader and beg him to grant you the marriage."

"Huh?" Niu Zhengzheng slapped his head with one large hand and scratched it repeatedly. "You can do this like that?"

Deng Yutang shrugged, about to speak again, when suddenly his brows furrowed.

Suddenly, an unexpected figure appeared atop the mountain – Yan Tianjiang!

He was speaking rapidly to Chang Ying, and the situation seemed urgent.

Both Yan Tianjiang and Chang Ying are capable generals who can stand alone!

At this moment, however, their expressions became increasingly similar.

Everything was very solemn!
It's almost January, please give me some monthly votes!
